Russia

As of October 1, 2012, USAID has ended its programs in Russia. Please visit the U.S. Embassy Moscow website for additional information on USAID's departure from Russia.

Over the past two decades, USAID has provided assistance that has helped the Russian people improve public health and combat infectious diseases, protect the environment, develop a stronger civil society, and modernize their economy. As Russia has grown into a middle income country, the nature of USAID’s work has evolved beyond primarily providing technical assistance with a large focus on collaboration. By 2012, the majority of USAID’s engagement revolved around the promotion of an open and innovative society in Russia and a strengthened partnership between the U.S. and Russia. The work led to many breakthroughs and transformations. Click here to learn more: USAID in Russia Fact Sheet.
